This 2019 Holloran Chardonnay comes from our Le Pavillon vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The vines were planted in 1972 with the Draper selection of Chardonnay. They are own-rooted.
This vineyard is farmed organic and biodynamic. These very old vines have deep roots, providing powerful ripening of the fruit, providing deep flavors and a very long finish.
The soils are volcanic, Jory, a deep, ancient red silty clay loam. The elevation is 600’, with a south aspect.
The substantial acid profile and fruit depth will help it age very well in a cool cellar for 8 – 15 years. In early years it will benefit from decanting.
